Trump and his tiny hands are an insidious poison to the democratic Republic of the USA. Trump and the billionaires that supports him don't want a free and fair election with the result of people voting for their futures, unless it is a pretending type of voting that goes on in Russia and produces Putin in a predictable "victory".

I don't know why our Billionaires went with this. Putin regularly kills his rich Oligarchs and so did Hitler. Currently they make huge profits and are amazingly wealthy. They are destroying Democracy just so they don't pay 20% income tax like the rest of us? They are mentally ill.
I am not aware of a single industrialist or „oligarch“ being killed by Hitler‘s orders. Who do you have in mind? Not that it matters. Once you follow this hysterical „Trump = Hitler“ narrative, you are lost to a clear view of our world today. But if the past really offers a guide as to the future, if the scenes depicted herr are not just the tools of any populist (Chaplin did a pretty good take on it 90 years ago, Huey Long also comes to mind) - then you know what to do to prevent the dictator.
When Bannon was running Trump 's campaign in 2016, he specifically called out Hitler as his play book. And it shows. And yes quite a few political prisons that were wealthy went the camps before they became special use. Initially, they were well fed but by the time of Crystalnacht, all out assassinations were happening and not just Jews but "political" people.
There is nothing hysterical about comparing Trump to Hitler. Trump is literally following Hitler's playbook. The only people denying that in Germany at this point are Russian trolls, or far right AfD Nazis. And as we all know, the AfD is financed by Putin.

I happen to disagree. Both Hitler and Trump are demagogues but then so were dozens of other European leaders in the 1920s and 1930s or South American leaders in the 1970s. Hitler, however, is one of the worst criminal in human history, a fact which has little to do with the propaganda tricks you enumerate and a lot with his paranoid hatred of Jews. The hysterical element is (to my mind) that you are using „Hitler“ not only as a example („here‘s how demagogues function“) but also as a scare scenario („this is what could happen if…“). It‘s like looking at influenza and saying that infectious disease is „following the Black Death‘s playbook“ - which would be true in some respects but not therapeutically helpful. And btw: nice move, Oliver, this „far right AfD Nazis“ characterization. Immediately put me on my backheels. Did you learn that on Twitter or Facebook?
Well, it is world history at this point unless you are 95 plus.
To comment on current events, Bannon acknowledged that he used the Hitler playback in his 2016 Trump campaign. So, still have a problem with that? Maybe take it up with Bannon, when he gets out of prison. Having worked for a Germany automated controls company and traveled to Europe for business then, I feel I understand more than you think.
Trump's playbook — his vocal approval of violence mixed with righteous and vicious vengeance — would supplant our legal systems with sycophants and ignore and eviscerate the laws upon which it's built. Roberts' court has already removed the guard rails.

Oh! I forgot…it occurs to me that one contributing factor to our present circumstance was the seemingly small adjustment made during Reagan’s terms that eliminated the teaching of civics from public school curricula.
By NOT teaching the public how our “fragile experiment in self governance” as Jefferson called it, actually works, the Republicans paved the path to our present existential crises.

Ah yes, the pox of the MBA. They churned out entire generations of “denominator managers”- by which I mean, the way to profits and rich stock options is through draconian cost cutting, without regard to the impact of the most valuable asset-human capital, people, employees, “wage slaves” as they were called in the 1850s run up to cessation. Sad how little things change from one perspective, and how drastically they do from another.

This post is invaluable, timely and I consider it a reference material although unconventional but it cuts to the bone as to how persuasive and insidious the psychological warfare has permeated our society.
The Disciples of Depravity, the Fascist Flunkies are Merchants of Malarkey using the Big Lie(s) as lube to minds of decent ordinary citizens. Purity and loyalty to their supreme leader and purging our society of ALL of the "others" is what's being implemented at this moment. Then There Was Blood. I would suggest taking the time to listen to experts on what I call Assholtarians.
Ask yourself the question, How vulnerable am I to propaganda, disinformation, psyops and bullshit artists? None of us are completely immune. Examine your biases, sharpen up your discernment skills and make certain you have two things, fresh batteries in you bullshit detector and a litmus test for truth, logic and ethics.
Fascists absolutely hate socialism and democracy and believe that only a select privileged few are deserving of power and wealth. Sound familiar? Think malignant capitalism, billionaires aka mobligarchs that want to own our asses and/or make them disappear. There is a tipping point with fascism where they laydown their hand, show us all their cards hoping that they have a large segment of the public bamboozled and/or neutered mentally whereby some will murder their fellow citizens on command from the supreme leader while others will do nothing out of shock, WTF just happened?
My question is how many of the law enforcement and military will rollover defy their oath of office and kiss the ring? We are going to go thru some things regardless, which path would you prefer?
I am interested in narcissism specifically, and narcissism theory can also help to understand these shocking quotes from Hitler about lying to tge people. Without consuming any propaganda, we have seen Trump lying to the people, because he does it so freely. In narcissism, the communicating of ‘truths’ is only a means to other ends. Interest in getting to the truth is lost in favour of reaching a goal in which power and the maintaining of a persona are prioritised.

Let's not forget that when protesters marched to the White House after the George Floyd murder, the Bloated Yam, like Adolf, hid in his bunker, surrounded by his flunkies, cronies, and military aides in BDUs and snappy uniforms, hiding until they went away.
Adolf, however, rid the world of his presence. His sole positive contribution to humanity.

The similarities are scary. But of course they have gotten ahead if it by accusing “the left” of being fascists, socialists and Nazis. This circulates among the Right Wingers for a while.
I wonder who did the research and reading on Hitler for him. We know he doesn’t read and his historical data is extremely accurate. The only thing I can figure is someone compiled basically a documentary for him to watch and rewatch. Because he has become even more rehearsed in his role now.
Shit is scary........... Well done! We are on the ole fascism slide, I can't believe how far we have come.
And how many people actually are unaware of Project 2025!
I wish my eyes were deceiving me. To say this is scary is one of the understatements of the century. We must find a way to educate our neighbors
It is terrifying to understand how perilously close we are sliding into a repeat of these heinous times.
People mock the term ‘woke ‘ , but I pray they wake up and realize what is truly occurring.

I am German, RV maxima. Are you schooling me about my country‘s history? Bold. Especially if you‘re not that knowledgable about it.

As Santayana famously noted, “Those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it.”
Churchill saw the “Gathering Storm” of fascism, monsters, and looming genocide in the rising Nationalism of the Third Reich…
Folk who work hard at being purposefully ignorant comprise malleable mobs.
With advances in communication that past dictators and psycotics could not imagine,
it is now possible for a demonstrably warped human to rally the masses.
In fact, the willingness of the herd to follow the loudest voice may lead to our extinction.

Normally arguments ad hitlerum are not valid, but damn these are not normal times. Besides the parallels are undeniable.
